Paige is friends with a member of Girl Talk's crew, which afforded us an opportunity to shoot their recent Elon University show.

When I shoot concerts I tend to get in and get out. I don't usually stay around and socialize or network, so this was a kind of a new/different experience. They were all incredibly friendly and hospitable. Before the show we hung out on the bus, they offered to make us sandwiches, drinks, etc. It was quite fun and unexpected.

I'm about as awkward as they come, and spent most of our down-time trying to not look like a tourist or fanboy. But it's my nature to photograph those around me. So, I couldn't resist grabbing some candid shots.

During the break between Spring and Summer semesters I've shot nothing but film (and Polaroids). This will be my last semester at RCC, so I want to get as much as I can from the equipment, facility, and free film processing.

After the next few months, the amount of film that I will be able (and afforded) to shoot and process will take a significant nose-dive.

My current to-be-processed inventory:

4x Kodak Ektachrome 100 4x5 sheet film

2x Fujichrome Provia 100F 4x5 sheet film

2x Fujichrome Provia 400F 120 film

2x Fujichrome Astia 100F 120 film

1x Fujichrome Velvia 50 120 film

5x Kodak Portra 400VC 120 film

1x Fujicolor Pro 160 120 film

3x Fujicolor Superia X-tra 400 135 24ex film

4x Fujicolor Superia X-tra 800 135 24ex film

2x Kodak T-Max 100 (400 push) 4x5 sheet film

1x Kodak Tri-X 400 (3200 push) 120 film

2x Kodak T-Max 100 (800 push) 120 film

1x Ilford Delta 400 (6400 push) 135 36ex film

1x Kodak Tri-X 400 (6400 push) 135 24ex film

1x Ilford SFX 200 (1600 push) 135 36ex film

The B&W films I'll get to right away (I have plenty of D-76, but I'll probably exhaust my Xtol supply). The E-6 and C-41, I'll have to turn-in and just wait-and-see. But with all I have plus everyone else returning from break, there's sure to be enough color film turned-in to warrant a couple runs.

So for the next week or two I'll be spending a lot of time with my Nikon CoolScan and Imacon Flextight friends.
